Chapter 21 The Third Hokage
"Please go to the principal's office as soon as possible."
"Principal?" Aya Ueda exclaimed softly.
There are no great teachers in the ninja school, they are basically all ordinary chuunin, but the principal of the ninja school is not an ordinary person.
The Ninja School currently has only two principals, one is the second hokage Hokage Senju Tobirama, and the other is the current Third Hokage Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Although he is the principal, it is not easy for the teachers to see Sarutobi Hiruzen, because except for a few words at the beginning of school, Sarutobi Hiruzen usually does not come to school and will handle official business in the Hokage Building.
This was the reason why Aya Ueda exclaimed. It was so rare for Hiruzen Sarutobi to be in the principal's office and summon a teacher alone.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Makoto nodded, and then apologized to the teacher in the office:
"Sorry, everyone, I'll go to the principal's office and talk about the lectures when I come back later."
"What's so embarrassing about this? Yes, Hosakawa-sensei, please go quickly, don't keep the Hokage-sama waiting." Ikari Isamu said, with an uncontrollable expression of envy on his face, and his eyes were almost turning into lemons.
He has been teaching for several years and has never been treated like this. Not to mention being summoned alone, he has never entered the principal's office.
However, Ikari Isamu felt relieved when he thought about Makoto's teaching level and the quality of his students.
The average score of other first-grade classes was around 40 or 50, but Makoto's class scored over 70, leaving the other classes behind.
The actual combat scores are generally higher, and he also ranks among the top two in his grade. Uchiha Shisui, who ranks first, is even recognized as a super genius.
Ikari Isamu asked himself, can he bring out such a class? No.
After Makoto finished speaking, he turned around and headed to the principal's office.
The principal's office is on the top floor of their teaching building, which is the fifth floor. Makoto's small office is on the second floor.
Looking at the sign of the principal's office next to the door, Makoto knocked on the office door.
"Come in." A rather dignified middle-aged man's voice came from inside the door.
Makoto opened the door and walked into the office.
Makoto glanced at it casually. The layout of the office was very monotonous, with bookshelves and desks near the window, and a set of desk seats near the door.
And Hiruzen Sarutobi is not as old as he was at the beginning of the anime. His hair and beard are still black, and there are not many wrinkles on his face. His eyes are full of majesty, giving people a feeling of calmness and self-power. This may be because of his role in Ninja. Because of school, he didn't bring his Hokage hat.
"It's Hosakawa-sensei, please sit down quickly." Hiruzen
Sarutobi did not show off as a Hokage. He stood up and walked to the table and chair near the door, smiling and motioning for Makoto to sit down.
"Hokage-Sama." Makoto said with respect, without any pretense, and sat down.
In his previous life, Third's reputation was not good. Due to various reasons, many things became his conspiracy.
He didn't know what kind of person the Third Hokage in front of him was in reality, but as a teacher of a ninja school, his appearance skills must be in place. Even if he cursed in his heart, he still had to put a smile on his face.
"Hosakawa, you are a person with teaching talent." Sarutobi Hiruzen praised with a smile.
"I heard about the results of your class. The average theoretical score is 20 to 30 points higher than other classes. In actual practice, the top two in the grade are also taken by your class."
" The invigilator also said that their basic ninja skills such as transformation and cloning are way superior to the other classes"
"It's the students who are serious. I just try my best to teach them, and the rest depends on their efforts." Makoto thought for a while and said.
He was humble, but not completely humble.
First, he said that there are also reasons for the students' own reasons, and then he said that he tried his best to teach and pointed out his own efforts.
"Teach as much as you can, that's right." Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with Makoto's answer and sighed:
"If there were more teachers in the ninja school, Hosakawa-sensei, who try their best to educate students like you, there would be no need to worry about the younger generations. There is a problem with our training."
Makoto did not answer this sentence but looked like he was listening carefully.
If you admit it, doesn't it mean that other teachers are incompetent? If you don't admit it, it means that other teachers are not serious.
"Based on the performance of Class One this time, I will help you decide on the outstanding teacher for this semester." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.
Makoto made a surprised expression on his face and immediately thanked Sarutobi Hiruzen with a moved expression.
"However, Hokage-sama, isn't this a bit too good? After all, it's only been a month, and I'm afraid that spreading the word will damage your reputation." Makoto said with a worried look on his face, worried that this would affect the reputation of the Third.
"Excellent teachers are meant for teachers who perform well. If other teachers can bring out such a class, I will do the same." Sarutobi Hiruzen said domineeringly.
The Third continued to draw the cake and said:
"If you, Mr. Hosakawa, maintain this teaching quality in the next year, I will promote you to a special jounin and serve as the deputy monitor of the ninja school teacher class."
"Thank you Thirdme for your cultivation, but as a teacher, my responsibility is to teach students well, I always keep this in mind." Makoto said with a sincere face.
Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen were indeed taught by the same teacher. They both are tempting him with the rank of special jounin.
But it's a pity that compared to the position of special jounin, Makoto really hopes that his students will improve, because in this way, he can earn a lot of gold coins.
Seeing Makoto's extremely sincere feelings, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has read countless people, is convinced that Makoto is telling the truth, and he appreciates Makoto more and more.
"Hosakawa-sensei, I want to talk to you about some personal matters next. I wonder if you are willing to listen." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked.
Makoto nodded, thinking about what kind of medicine the third hokage is selling.
"I have a young son named Sarutobi Asuma. He just graduated this year and became a genin. He is still very immature in every aspect, which gives me a headache. I would like to hire you as a tutor to teach him." Hiruzen Sarutobi sent out the invitation. .
With Makoto's current teaching level, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that it would be no problem to teach Asuma, a newly graduated genin.
This is also a test of Makoto's ability. If the performance is really good, it will be worthy of him coming forward and asking Danzo for help.
Whether he is an excellent teacher or a special jounin, he uses it to increase Makoto's favorability and pave the way for the future.
These are all things that matter to Sarutobi Hiruzen in just one sentence, so he is happy to make this casual move.
"Hokage-sama, I need to consider this carefully." Makoto thought for a while, but did not agree directly.
This was a bit beyond Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations. He didn't expect Makoto to refuse.
"Because I have to attend classes on weekdays, I definitely don't have time from Monday to Friday, and on the weekends, I also have to think about how to start teaching next week. I can only agree if I guarantee the quality of teaching on both sides, so let me think about it."
Makoto explained.
The Third was stunned for a moment, then laughed and praised Makoto again as an excellent teacher, and then said that there is nothing else to do and you can leave.
Makoto gave Third an appraisal before leaving.
